I have been taking an online art journaling workshop being taught by Vivian Bonder, the talented Australian mixed media artist and journaler. There are five parts to the course and I have just completed part 1, which is primarily creating backgrounds and putting your journal together. Covers and additional work on each page will be taught in parts 2-4. I thought I would share some sample pages throughout completing the parts of the workshop. Below you will find a few spreads from part 1, backgrounds only. I have also included some close-up shots. Click images to enlarge.

Your painted pages are beautiful!I love the splattered paint, and the circle (from a glass bottom perhaps?)...I longed to hear more description of type of papers, paints used...I hope you'll share when you add to these pages as well.

And yes, wow, I went to Vivian's blog and what a find that is!Can one have too many artists to visit? NEVER!!! ;-) thanks for sharing! ;-)

How come I have never heard of this amazing earthy grrl before?? Is it just us Aussies who resist shining the light on their fellow countrymen-type-persons? *growl* Had this chat with Judy Wilko too. Anyway, thanks so much for the link, she is firmly in my favorites now.
